Book Haul #9 (8/1/11)

Check out what I got this week!


PURCHASED


The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles, #1)
by Kady Cross

Source: purchased the hardcover

Genres: steampunk, paranormal, romance (YA)

I'm so excited I finally got this! I bought it with Wildefire, and because that only came out last week, I had to wait about 2 months to get this book along with it in my order. The ebook prequel made me salivate for this one...

Wildfire (Wildefire, #1) 
by Karsten Knight

Source: purchased the hardcover

Genres: fantasy, mythology (YA)

I've been waiting to buy this book for the past year, since I first discovered Karsten on YouTube. He is so hilarious, I've been trying to keep up with his wacky antics ever since. It's exciting just to finally have this finished novel after all this time...


OBTAINED BY OTHER MEANS


City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)
by Cassandra Clare

Source: won paperback in a giveaway

Genres: paranormal romance, urban fantasy (YA)

*laughs* I realize I already mentioned getting this book last week in my "Book Haul" post, but that was a library copy. This week, I suddenly won a giveaway hosted by a book blogger, and I got my own copy of this book, too! I hope I do like this series, after all...

Cicada 
by Belle Whittington

Source: BookRooster.com review copy

Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance (YA)

I got this after being invited to review it from BookRooster.com, and it looks really interesting. What few reviews are out there for this little self-published title, they are all singing its praises. I also enjoyed the sample I read before accepting the RC, so I look forward to this one, too.


That's what I hauled in this week. What about you all...?
